What Now? Revisited

It was nice to see her character fleshed out

I'd say they wound up about even. He didn't really come out of it with his head held high. She found out how she had screwed up her life.

At the end... nothing but sadness. Two lonely people, apart and alone.

Bravo...Bravo... now we're standing DG!!!!!

This pressed the buttons because we can really feel the gravity of what's happening here, you've done well. Call it recovery, whatever, but revisiting this saga saved the whole thing. In fact, very well and sensitively done, an excellent method of handling the yawning chasm of unanswered but necessary reasonings, and the dawning of reality and regret from Dorothy's perspective. Plausible that she could have been so naive to all the connivance around her? Nope..I doubt it, but IT IS FICTION after all. Great character development though, to weave the right temperment of personality into a basically finished story. You did the necessary changes of attitude in some characters just subtly enough to get away with it, also well done. Although a somewhat broken man, the George character handling was spot on consistent, he'd never take her back, we knew it, you knew it and didn't bullshit us with a reversal.
A few of us really felt that you slammed the door shut on "What Now" just a touch prematurely. So, sincerely, we thank you for this fine piece in completion(?).

So now for the sequel....George has a few attempts a relationships (gets laid a little) but does end up dating Dorothy. He romances her and she actually falls in love with him, but he can't get past the trust and betrayal issues, and is happy to just bed and breakfast her initially. What she doesn't know is one of Georges new ladies has also fallen hard for him, but is a little unbalanced and decides to try and take Dorothy out of the picture.....permanently.
WHAT NOW??????????.. DG... WHAT NOW??????????????????

I think you crossed all of the t's

DG:
The story begged for a 2nd chapter and you did a great job with it. It was evident that George wasn't interested in getting back with Dorothy, but at the same time it was equally evident he'd extracted what he considered to be adequate revenge. His main thought was to preserve his kids and grand kids lives in so far as possible and so he "pulled up" and quit before civil relations between all concerned became impossible. He was not totally innocent in all of this, and that also may have played a part in his limiting his revenge. A well told tale all in all. Thank You. Ronnie W.

Good

This was a good follow up story. I expect some readers will say you let the wife off the hook. There many sides to every story and your rendition is certainly plausible. I look forward to reading more of your stories.

ayyee, i give it

a five since it was great. Absolutely loved it. Wouldn’t even mind a chapter five. Actually would love it. A fan always.

Thanks DG...

Nice follow up.

DG, you are very generous to your devoted readers, (demanding idiots...such as myself. LOL), who wanted to hear Dorothy's side and see some of the #*!&ing %^~holes get there just desserts.

You kept your characters true to form and even managed to soften Dorothy just a little bit. She is still selfish and childish, but not as dumb the first impression presented. She can learn from her mistakes.

Thanks again and I'm looking forward to your next tale.

Gus

good job

good job, you get George be himself, and not change....much.
an outstanding 2md chapter.

did you really have to bring in the motel/wife swapping/rape? i cannot see george being an accomplice to that rape of his passed out drunk wife dorothy. but author's choice.

DG Hear!

Well, glad to hear I satisfied most everyones curiosity about Dorothy. I agree with the readers. Dorothy's side needed to be heard. I needed to shut a few of those doors. That's why I wrote revisited. Again, thank you for reading my stories.
DG Hear

Very good!

I was beginning to think maybe you would actually get the two reconciled but decided it wouldn't be possible.

I don't understand the motel orgy/rape, either.

A more amiable ending than the atmosphere at the dinner.

I feel the 'kids' were very forgiving. Which is certainly a good reaction for her. Mom's especially want to be around the offspring.

Well written story!

I liked the "revisit"

I had left a comment on part 3 of the original, which I generally I don't do until the end story. I did like the expansion giving the ending for Dorothy. It was good to see her realize how she was kept in the dark by Joe, Dixie, and Paul for so long. It was clear she was a "piece of meat" and not a person to them. If she was a person and their friend they should have told her what happened over the years. I agree that there was no way there could be reconciliation as she had tried to hurt George and did not show him any respect. I also liked the fact she learned what she lost.

Thank you!

I enjoyed the original and this revisit.

My best regards

Great

well written this ending and part of the story need to be told.... and maybe you can tell us about George and her getting back together some day.... you left the door open for it

very good, one of the better

"sequels", not a re-write with different people talking using the same words and quotations. Very well done.
Only thing that was missing was Dorothy telling George that she faked the first DNA reports for Paul's benefit and to burn that bridge with George.

DG HEAR

AKA "PRIME TIME AUTHOR"

Thanks for writing!

Nice ending, needed to be

I have to agree, I'm glad you decided to do another part to the story. It needed to be told I feel. Especially the part about the two of them at least trying to be civil between each other since they both loved their children and grandchildren.

From all this I get the feeling that Dorthey didn't really know what love was and still might not know(but knows what it isn't now). I mean love towards her children and family yes but not so much romantic love to a degree. Basing this off of what she thought was love with Paul and realize it was nothing real at all. Yet she does realize that things were different with George but maybe she had other expectations of what it was suppose to be like and didn't know what it was like. That right there seems like it could have been the main problem and cause to all of this and everything else just spread from it. Just a thought

Oh my God that was good!!

Finally.

Finally, a good story. And not one about how the husband just can't wait to get back with the wife.

That was good.

Kudos!!

Best ending yet

I loved this story. What a great ending. Hope you do write another sequal. I am one of those who love reconsiliations.
After this ending I think thata would be great.

Well

done DG as aways!!!

Nicely Done

I too liked the ending. It would be hard to imagine someone walking away from 32 years of marriage and NOT have second thoughts and it was an illusion to boot. Perhaps there will be a further story here.

get back together?

I don't think so . The only thing this crazy bitch deserve's is to find another asshole like Paul to make her happy. Someone this stupid who thinks with her pussy is really sad. George should find a woman with a brain, because this bitch doesn't have one. I love the way you piss me off with these stories. Keep it up. Regards.

Fantastic!

Had no idea there was a sequel to be done on this story. You took a really good story and made it better. Thank you for just writing. a reading fan.

great Job!

Wonderful follow up. you showed what happened when she woke up to what she did and discovered what she lost. You can't be married for 30 odd years without some type of feelings and she realizes now what she threw away, and all for a pile of dross. Thanks for the wonderful read

Another sequel

I also thought this was an excellent story. I'm like some of the others who would like to see them get back together. But I think it would be great in this case for her to court and pursue him and him realize that she did love him and he loves her after all. Love all your stories and look forward to more

EXCELLENT

Great Story!!

DO

I vote Do

Agreed with "Another Sequel" for Different Reason

a "happy ending" doesn't mean two people who having never truly understood, much less loved, each other much needing to end up together again, just because their "misunderstanding" led one or the other to cheating activities,,,

a "happy" ending simply means grown up people come to understand why things happen the way they do and move on.

this woman doesn't deserve someone like the husband, so why make him suffer her for another possible 32 years; I don't care if she falsely declare her undying love for him during the next 32 years,,, men and women like her should never pair up with those who have what we call "strong moral fibre," like the husband in this story,,,

what I never understand is, why do these cheating men and women, AFTER they are caught, want us to think they are willing to NOW change course, to live with someone they have little or no regards for and SUFFER (deriving them the normal sexual thrills they've been getting on the side for years)?,,, when they can easily go out and fuck whoever they want, as they want, when they want, once their boring spouse have been dumped! ---- THAT i'll never understand

I vote don't!

and this is just a manifestation of my appreciation to your follow up. It did what many others failed, i.e. -elaborate; better explain (the wife's chracter and motivation for example) and close loose ends. The "maybe they shall meet one day" works more as a thougt teaser than as a gap that needs to be filled for the purpose of this story. As Isaid this was a good follow up which led to a good convincing closure.

Love to read more

Hope you continie this story it was great.

Good, but...

Enjoyed it but the grammar and spelling errors are distracting. Ex. One does not "here" with one's ear.

Back togeather

You are very good with a story line. The story follows the age group that alot of us readers are in. How about the happy ending that we all wish we could have had? Thanks....Gene

Rape

George did get his wife raped. Ugh, can't get over that fact. Dangerous. Dorothy did get the short end of the deal. Yeah, she was a romantic silly cow who carried a torch for an idiot, and she purposely set up to fool George. But George was no choirboy either. All through the marriage he was unfaithful, women called the home all the time. Hard for a woman to fall in love with him. George did come out quite ahead. The settlement of the divorce was totally in his favor, so many years of marriage and he got most of the assets. He incited the rape of his wife while she was unconscious!!! (sorry, can't get over that fact) and humiliated her in front of family and friends. For her children she is the adulterous cow, but George was a cheat, too. I like the story. It's interesting and well written, but heck yeah, there is a double standard

You never know what you have untill you lose it

This one was much sad and bitter even as it came from the pov of the cheating wife. It sounded very realistic, as many self centered naive and immature people like this wife character actually are. Typically there is a lot of quick and sad maturing which takes place and a lot of regrets. Now she will say three times thank you when someone smiles at her...

trash

What a bunch of trailer trash, George included.

forgive

This author would find a way to forgive ted bundy or charles manson, now i know why so many people write to murderers and rapists in prison.She cheated on him, thought he raised another man kids, disrespected him in every way.Anyone who would let a slut like this around their kids as a role model even in a story is nuts.

ONLY A BRAIN DEAD ASSHOLE WIMP LIKE YOU "DG HEAR" ( BASICALLY JUST ANOTHER, "JUST PLAIN BOB," WIMP. THAT MANY OF US WITH A SET OF BALLS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE 5 MINUTES WITH, IN A CLOSED LOCKED ROOM.) WOULD COME UP WITH A STORY LIKE THIS PIECE OF KRAP FROM THE CHEATING SLUT DOROTHY . YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO CALL THIS WORTHLESS MARRIED WHORE BY THE NAMES SHE SHOULD WEAR I.E. WHORE, FUCK-SLUT, PILE OF FUCKING SHIT, ETC. , ETC., . THEN YOU TRY TO TELL US THAT HER FAMILY JUST FORGAVE, MOM DORTHY, 28 YEARS OF CHEATING, BETRAYAL AND OUTRIGHT TREACHERY TOWARD THEIR FATHER, INCLUDING THE ATTEMPT TO HAVE HER FUCK SLUT LOVER FATHER ALL HER CHILDREN . YoU ARE REALLY A DUMB WIMPY SHIT LIT AUTHOR . WHY DON'T YOU SHOVE THIS REVISITED FOLLOWUP -- RIGHT UP YOUR QUEER ASS , FUCKHEAD.

TIGER

It's nice to see that

your anonymous commenter has realised that writing in capitals is the same as shouting. Now at least we know that he had grasped at least one of the rules of writing and knows how to have a good rant! Shame about the lack of vocabulary, demonstrated by the use of expletives and insults, and the usual bigotted assumptions with regard to your sexual preferences. Never mind, at least he must have overcome his own prejudices long enough to read it. To paraphrase the Bard, "methinks the man protesteth too much!"

DG, sorry about your editor

Story was passable, a bit in left field. However, getting past the mistakes and composition in your writing was difficult. Perhaps you and your editor could find time to take some basic English classes. Or, perhaps you can find an English speaking editor.

i loved that part

about WE should have tried harder. it appears that husband spent 33 years trying hard and the cunt who thought she was breeding with another man and cuckolding her husband was the only one not trying. you get a 5.

!!!

that was worth reading....bill

VERY NICE

no wimp here. gave u a 5.

Excellent

The cunt got what she deserved. Fuck her.

Im sorry how did she suffer?

The cunt wants out of marriage,and she is out,the cunt wants family, and apparently they all love the cunt, so where is the pay back or shame or anything? Fuck it id shoot George in the fucking head head for being such a pussy, not well written no guts as i said absolutely no emotions from him or regret from her or any fucking help from the kids. It bland

The entire series is dg at his finest.

One fuzzy point ...

"Maybe if we would have shone our feelings for each other like we did for our kids this might all have turned out differently."
Love was spread by all but her to her hubby. In that context, her statement makes little sense.

Grammar

When a person listens to something they hear it not here it.

Poorly written.
"Then Barb said, "Harry replied, 'Joe said . . . "

"I honestly believed I was falling for you."

Really? After being married for nearly 33 years, you 'believed' you were falling for YOUR HUSBAND? Good Lord, what a farce.....

Everyone grows up at different rates - maybe - just maybe she is starting to grow - WAY TOO late.

Connection

Paul says he felt no connection with her family.

Even if they weren't his kids, they were the children of his "love", that should have been connection enough for him.

That was so bad,

I think it gave me cancer! She cheats for THIRTY THREE FUCKING YEARS, tells him the kids are not his, for which she was glad-because she wanted them to be her lovers kids, that she never loved him, that all her friends knew and helped, and was divorcing him; all in a letter that she dumped on the table before leaving, because she didn't even respect him enough to tell him face to face. And how does her family respond?He just shrugs his shoulders and says; "I suppose I better get a divorce, and do everything I can to make this transition easy for her, Oh, and let's stay friends, honey". And how do the kids respond? "Oh mommy, we all love you, come to breakfast with us".
If the character's reactions aren't believable, then the story is worthless, because it reads like a teenager's high-school english writing assignment - one that was handed in late, and to the wrong teacher!
